Princess Beatrice Gets Ready to Auction Royal Wedding Hat on eBay

A giant pretzel? A toilet seat? Whatever you think Princess Beatrice’s chapeau resembled during the Royal Wedding, it matters not. The hat that’s created a lot of buzz is going to be auctioned off for charity!

Although Beatrice wore a dusty pink Valentino Couture outfit for the big day, her Philip Treacy hat, of course, received all the press. According to the UK Daily Mail, her mom Sarah Ferguson, revealed on The Oprah Winfrey Show that she’s going to auction it off for charity. “She’s putting it up on eBay to auction it for UNICEF and for children in crisis.”

Although some people may think the decision to sell the bizarre accessory is the result of negative buzz, she thinks it’s quite the opposite. In a Grazia interview she stated, “I think it’s wonderful that it’s had a reaction, it is just a hat after all, and now it has got its own Facebook page and so many fans.” She added, “It’s an incredible response to that hat really, I’m glad it provoked so much conversation.” Now the question is, we wonder how much it’ll fetch on eBay? Hmmm…
